Such an awesome story about a Twitter user (@IvyBean104) that just turned 104, making her (arguably) Twitter’s oldest user. She has 32,000+ followers and also uses Facebook (where she is also the oldest user) and has reached the 5,000 friend limit.
Putting activist related words as your middle name on Facebook is retarded. No one cares. By putting “equality” as your middle name, do you think people will suddenly change their ways? No. They won’t. Maybe if I make my middle name “fuck off”, people would get the hint.
Same goes for green twitter backgrounds. The iran thing was SO last month.
– For her own safety, she’ll remain nameless.
I hate that middle bird.
A tweet today from the TwitterAPI account warned that the second Twitpocalypse was closer than people thought. Okay, most people probably didn’t realize that it could occur again, but it can, and it will, and it’s fast approaching.
The current estimate by the API team is that it will occur sometime in the next 60 days, probably at the end of September. They warn that it could happen sooner though.
Twitter has begun to change the use of the word “update” to the word “tweet.” It’s a small language change, but carries implications for the microblogging startup. This comes off the heels over the news that Twitter trademarked the word “tweet” and the AP Stylebook declaring “to tweet” legitimate grammar.
Looks like Twitter is finally going to be revamping their homepage next week. Curious to see what they do with it.
I’m done with you all. First, I lost myself in pipe dreams of a Squarespace iPhone. I bombarded my twitter account, losing friends and followers. I tried being clever, with popular tweets such as “Got #squarespace?” and “Melts in your mouth, not in your #squarespace”.
When that started to seem not-so-promising, along came Trackle. Less in the spotlight, they put the wind back under my sails and I came back in full force. I trackled my little heart out, even getting a few @replies from the men behind the curtain. Day after day I waited like a small child waiting for pops to come home from work. Eventually, time went on and day after day, I lost hope of ever seeing “Congratulations, you’ve won!”.
Then, as if showing up like a lighthouse in a foggy storm, Moonfruit came along and told me that they would give me a Macbook Pro. All I had to do was tweet #moonfruit and I could win! So I did…every hour I did. I tweeted my little heart out. I tried being clever, pulling out all the stops and resorting to desperate “PLEASE #moonfruit, HELP ME”. Then they said they were cutting their contest short, giving out FOUR macs in one day, quadrupling my chances and after frequent Tweetie checks, the last winner was announced. It wasn’t me. I was heartbroken, destroyed.
I’m done with your stupid competitions, putting false hopes in my mind and pulling the rug out from under me like taking candy from a baby.
Mashable is such a useful website. They always have such interesting posts.
I’m pretty OCD when it comes to certain things, especially websites. Last week, I redesigned my blog theme and I’m really happy with the way it came out. After that, I decided it would be cool to re-do my Twitter theme to look the same. And once I did that, I figured - why not, let me do the same for YouTube too.
I tried to duplicate as much as possible, but Twitter doesn’t really give you a lot of options, neither does the new YouTube channel pages.
It started with your tweets that suffered from CAPS LOCK. Then you posted stupid links. Your green tinted Iranian avatar was the final straw.
Goodbye MCHammer, it was nice following you while it lasted.
